Ryan Oakes lives in Waco, TX with his wife, Kendall and daughter, Ellison. Ryan began serving in full time ministry in 2017. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Oklahoma State University, but felt a call into ministry halfway through his college career. God used young adults and college students to know and love Ryan to Christ when he was 13 years old. Ryan is currently pursuing a Masters in Christian Education at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary online while serving as the College Pastor at First Baptist Church Bryan, seeking to care for students the way God cared for him as a teenager. If he’s not hanging with students, he’s watching college football or hanging with his four girls (which includes two dogs).
